At a time like this, you need your State Government to step up.

And we are – by providing $1 billion in support to South Australian households and businesses.

Today we are adding $650 million to the first support package of $350 million I announced a fortnight ago.

We want as many businesses as possible to be able to continue operating during these unprecedented times so that people can keep their jobs. 

We want to relieve as much stress as possible for individuals and families. 

We want to keep the South Australian community and economy functioning so that when this virus is beaten, as it will be, we can bounce back as quickly as possible.

The Federal Government is now providing the most signigican support, outside of wartime, for the Australian community and economy.

At the State level, we will now do the same.

The key elements of our comprehensive second support package are: 

• Relief form taxes and charges
• A Business and Jobs Support Fund
• A Community and Jobs Support Fund
• Additional support to recipients of JobSeeker payments from Centre Link who also receive a State Government Cost of Living Consession.

For details on how to apply to the Funds, please email:

BusinessandJobsSupportFund@sa.gov.au or CommunityandJobsSupportFund@sa.gov.au 

As the fight against this virus continues, we will keep under review the need for any further support to households and businesses.

Together, we WILL get through this.

A new portal has been unveiled by the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA), offering access to free business services for those affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The portal will facilitate access to teleworking technologies such as tele- and video-conferencing, virtual meetings and events, as well as other remote business services that can be deployed out of the traditional office environment.

Selected free services can be accesses by visiting www.australianbusinesscontinuity.com.au 

ABH cautions business owners to be mindful that sometimes signing up for free offers now may in some cases, lead to fee for service plans further down the track.  Check out the fine print before committing to a free product.

The portal is supported by the Australian Government and also serves to compliment the broad suite of Government support and advice available to Australian business owners at www.business.gov.au.

The Port Adelaide Football Club celebrates the significant milestone of 150 years. An unrivalled 36 SANFL and 1 AFL Premiership makes us Australia’s most successful football club.
